MORE IKTEKESTING TIIAN EELIABLE
"I have instituted proceedings through
my attorney against H. G Prick, President
of the Carnegie Company, for $150,000
damages"
The young man who volunteered this
startling statement in The .Dispatch
office last evening was "William Freyvogel,
the tenth juror drawn on the Critclilow
case. He spoke earnestly, though he
snowed evidence of nervous agitation.
In answer to interrogations he continued:
"I have been dismissed from employment
on account of the Critchlow verdict This
afternoon at 3:45 I was discharged by the
East End Electric Company, of which
I was chief electrician. My dis
missal is due to a letter written by
Secretary Iiovejoy on behalf of H. C
Trick. I have been in the employ of the
East End Light Company since September
and served them well until the day of the
rendering oi the Critchlow verdict. Twenty
five minute after the verdict was rendered
Mr. Trick's private counsel met me
on Diamond street and said: 'I
will not throw a stone in your
way. I considered that a significant
remark. On the Saturday following the
verdict a preliminary notice was served on
me, but to-day a notice for cause and reas
ons was served upon me. Tne cause was
niv stand in the Critchlow case. "With the
notice demanding my dismissal wsb sent a
letter recommending me as an expert elec
trician." Had All the Details fat.
"Were the letters in one envelope, and
were they both written on Carnegie Com
pacv stationery and signed by Mr. Love
joy?" "So. One the dismissal was type
written on a plain sheet of paper, and not
signed. The recommendation, which testi
fies to my skill as an electrician,
was written on Carnegie paper and
signed 'Secretary Lovejoy, per H. C
iV To show you how shrewd
they are it is only necessary to state that
the recommendation was dated beck about
the last of September. The dismissal was
dated November 25. But I saw through it.
"When the recommendation was purported to
have been written I was in the employ of
V. Dufl & Son, and had never sought em
ployment from the East End Company. I
have them there, you see.
"I have laid a supposititious case before
some of the" Judges, and they assure me
that the penalty tor an act of this sort is a
heavy fine and impnsoument together with
wiiat damages my attorney sees fit to ask.
I cannot mention the names of the Judges
who advised me, as they may be called upon
to try the case.
"I hae engaged 'William Beardon and
Messrs. Erwin and Argo, the Western
lawyers, who took part in the defense ol
Critchlow. The original order lor my dis
missal was sent to Mr. Erwin this after
noon. A copy of the order is now locked
up in the safe deposit vaults. I
not only sent the order to Erwin by
mail, but I telegraphed him the
substance of it To guarantee the safe de
livery of the-letter I put 40 cents worth of
stamps on it, and I expect Mr. Erwin to
arrive here immediately after getting my
communication.
Gn es Karnes of Other Victims,
ft 'Several others have been discharged for
the same reason," Mr. Freyvogel Vent on,
with apparent earnstness. "Charles Eaton,
an emplove of the citv, was notified to-day
ti at he must quit work on acoount ot the
Critchlow verdict Burns Wadsworth, of
McKeetport, who was also a member of the
jury, was dismissed from the National
Tube Works lor the same reason."
Mr. Freyvocel was positive and emphatic
in all his statements. He evidenced in
dignation when any of his statements were
questioned.
A a precautionary measure, however,
the following telegram was sent by The
Dispatch to Burns Wadsworth at Mc
Keesport: "Have you been discharged
from the Tube Works because of your ac
tion as a juror in the Critchlow case."
Promptly Burns Wadsworth wired back
the following reply: "So, sir. Was not
discharged."
When Charles S. Eaton, of G112 Hoeveler
street, was seen at his home last night he
was greatly surprised, when asked
whether he had been relieved of his posi
tion. He said: "The report that I
had been discharged is news to me.
It I had been discharged for mv
connection with the Critchlow trial I will
Fiirelv find out in the morning, but I know
nothing ol it now. But I can say that, if
anyone is not satisfied with the verdict, I
am willing to stand the consequences. I
rendered a verdict as I thought best, but
was alter all only one of 12."
Wasn't Worried About It.
Mr. Eaton seemed greatly puzzled over
the report, but was apparently not much
worried about it
H. C. Frick was absent from the city.
Secretary Lovejoy was at his home. He
heard the Freyvogel story with consider
able interest In answer to the story, he
asked: "Is the fellow drunk or crazy? We
have no interest in having men discharged,
and Mr. Frick is in no way connected with
the East End Light Company."
"When leaving The Dispatch office last
night Mr. Freyvogel said he was coing to
Philadelphia to-day to organize the Amer
ican Electrical Construction Company. He
also said that tnree years ago he had sued
George Westinghouse, Jr., for S150.000 lor
being discharged, and that he had finally
settled the case lor 75,000.

BETRAYED BY A KNIFE.
A McKeesport Bobber Detected After a
Lons Search Implicated by a Friend
Who Used Stolen Property In a Catting
- Affray Confesses Bis Crime.
Bert Peterson, a young man of good fam
ily of McKeesport, was sent to jail yester
day, charged with robbing Kirk & Co.'s
hardware store on the nlgnt of September
7. .He was betrayed by a penknife, the his
tory of which tells an interesting story of
vigilant detective work. .
When the McKeesport hardware store
was burglarized 5400 worth of guns and cut
lery were taken. Detective P. J. Murphy
was emploved to hunt down the robbers.
Three days after the robbery Murphy found
two guns under a board pile near McKees
port, but constant hunting for two months
longer failed to recover more of the stolen
property or to in any way fix the responsi
bility for the theft About a -month ago
Horatio Burwick, while being arrested for
another crime, cut and seriously hurt Con
stable Moore. For a time it was thought
Moore would die and the knife with
which he was cut was secured
lor evidence in the case. The
knife was turned over to Detective Murphy.
He found that it was one of the knives
stolen from Kirk & Co. Burwick was sent
to jail and was two weeks ago sent to the
workhonse for assaulting the constable.
While on his way to prison he wrote a note
to Peterson asking him to dispose of the
stolen property and send him his share of
the proceeds. This note failed to reach
Peterson, but It Tell into the hands of Mur
phy. The note did not say where the goods
were stored. Murphy, however, went in
dustriously to work on the case, and day
and night lor two weeks he has been wrest
ling with the case. Yesterday morning his
efforts were rewarded bv finding 28 guns
and nearly 100 ivory handled knives safely
concealed at Burwick's home. An hour
later the detective found several guns and
knives at Peterson's home.
Peterson was employed at the McKees
port Opera House. He was arrested while
at work. He promptly confessed having
been connected with the robbery. He also
said that Burwick had been associated with
the robbery. He will have a hearing before
Judge Gripp this morning. He will likely
be held for court
Burwick will be allowed to serve his
term for the cutting scrape, after which he
will be rearrested and triedlbr the robbery.
ESCAPED PfiOH THE WOKKHOTSE.
John Volks Stood Behind a Tree and
Scared Off a Guard.
The latest man to escape from the work
honse is John Yolks. He got away last
Friday, and so far as could be learned the
police forces of the two cities were not
notified of his disappearance. The work
house authorities have been doing what
they can to apprehend him. Yolks was
sent up from Washington county
for 10 months. He is 21 years
old and has served three months of hie
sentence. He is a carpenter, and it seems
at present houses are being erected on some
vacant land for the keepers. Yolks was
put to work on the buildings, and managed
to escape. He was seen by a guard going
over the hill last Friday toward Powers'
Bun. The watchman followed him, and
was scared off by Yolks standing behind a
tree and pointing something at him. He
went back to the workhouse for assistance,
but when it arrived Yolks was gone. The
guard imagined the prisoner pointed a re
volver at him, but the authorities believe it
was nothing more than a stick or piece of a
root
It is understood that since his sentence
the grand jury ot Washington county found
several indictments against him. One was
for alienating the affections of another
man's wife and another was for malicious
mischief. A capias had been issued for
him, but now the Washington county peo
ple will whistle until they get him.

THE? MUST OBET.
Two Women Arrested for Disregarding
Ilayor Gouxley's Order.

at their resort The informations were
ma'e by Superintendent of Police O'Mara.
These are the first arrests made under the
order of Mayor Gourley, requiring that the
selling of liquor in such resorts be sup
pressed or the places be closed. It is
expected that other arrests will follow
promptly.
"Our order must be obeyed," Superin
tendent O'Mara Said yesterday. "We have
given the resorts plenty oi time and we will
suppress liquor selling or shut np every re
sort in the citv."
Archy Came Back at Georgle.
Georgie Price was arrested yesterday on
a warrant sworn out before Alderman Kerr
by Archibald Varner charging her with
keeping a disorderly house on Thirty-fourth
street On April 25 Miss Price had Varner
arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct
preferred before Alderman Leslie. At the
time set for the hearing she failed to ap
pear and he was discharged. Varner imme
diately went before Alderman Kerr and
made an information against her.
Expected an Immediate Execution.
Joseph and Angelo Zappa, the condemned
muiderers, are now peaceful and happy. A
piiest, able to converse in Italian, visited
them yesterday and explained that the
sentence would not be carried out for
several months. They supposed tbey were
being led to the gallows when taken from
the court room and that was the reason of
their attempt at suicide.

A General Demand for Controller Horrov'i

INTERESTING ALLEGHENY POLITICS
Late last night Dr. Alex. McCandless
came out in a dictated statement claiming
that he has been earnestly in the fight for
the Republican nomination from the begin
ning, notwithstanding the statements of
those opposed to him. Magistrate Bernard
McKenna announced his candidacy
tor the Democratic nomination em
phatically and then started out
setting up his delegates all
over the city. It is pretty well understood
he bad arrangements for most of his dele
gates made so that all that was needed was
to notify them that he had at last decided
to enter the race. By noon to-day he will
have a trusty delegate in every ward of the
city. Tnere is a general impression among
Democrats that J. M. Guffey will acquiesce
in McKenna's candidacy, and will lend his
assistance to the 'Squire's election, so that
McKenna seems to have a clear field.
Th announcement of his candidacy came
yesterday morning. He visited Mayor
Gourley and talked to him about it, but
what the conversation meant could not be
ascertained. The newly announced candi
date called on several other officials in the
hall before he left it and then returned to
his office. He was not "at home" to re
porters for the balance of the day. In the
evening he started out to call on his dele
gates. Mr McKenna's candidacy meets with the
approval of the majority ot the party work
ers in the city, and it is expected he will
draw the full Democratic vote as well as a
large number of Republican ones. There
are some Democrats opposed to him, how
ever, one of whom, a well-known politician
from the Eighth ward, who made a bet last
night with a member of the Bandall Club
that McKenna w ill be defeated. He then
doubled the money and bet he would win
the first bet
Dr. McCaneless' announcement of his
position is as follows: "I am a candidate
for Mayor. I am not weak-kneed in my
candidacy nor are my friends weak-kneed
in the support they are giving me. I am in
the fight and I will remain in it until the
finish."
The doctor was busy at the Stock Ex
change and other down town concentrating
points yesterday in the interest of his con
test As to the interview published with
him yesterday, he says he did not think
it necessary to say anything as he had all
along declared his intention of staying in
the fight to the last, and no one had been
authorized to state differently. The publi
cation, however, caused some of his friends
to think he might have changed his mind,
therefore the statement issued last night
MOEBOW KAY EECONBIDEB.
Mayor Gom-Iey Comes Out for Him and the
Financial Men Indorse Him.
Yesterday Mayor Gourley urged Con
troller Morrow to reconsider and authorize
his friends to say he was a candidate for re
election. It Mr. Morrow is the candidate
on the Bepublican ticket the Mayor will
not only refuse to consider a nomination in,
'opposition to him, but will lend his aid in
securing him a big majority.
Yesterday a petition was circulated
among the down town banks requesting the -Controller
to become a candidate for re
nomination. Nearly every bank president
and cashier and nearly every broker on the
Stock Exchange signed the paper. It will
be presented to other financial men for sig
natures before being sent to the Controller.
A significant point in connection with the
circulation of the petition yesterday was
that nearly every man who signed it
named Mavor Gourley as their second
choice for Controller.
Assistant Controller John J. Davis, who
was named as a probable candidate for
Controller, yesterday announced that he
was not a candidate if Mr. Morrow was,
and would use his influence to induce the
Controller to run.
GAINED ONE DELEGATE.
Effect of the Last Election on the Bepubli
can State Convention.
Allegheny county gains a delegate to the
Bepublican State Convention by the vote
cast by the party in the recent election.
The convention of 1891 adopted a rule by
which the Bepublican vote for Fresidental
electors in each legislative district shall de
termine the number of delegates. Alle
gheny is the only western county to get an
increase. At the Inst State Convention
there were 270 delegates, of which this
county had 22. At the next there will be
a total of 261 and Allegheny will have 23 of
them. Armstrong, "Beaver, Clearfield,
Erie, Fayette and Indiana counties all lost
delegates. The result may be more or less
embarrassing to some ot the prospective
Slate candidates. Most of the eastern
counties kept up their vote for Mr. Harri
son, so that they will lose few, if any, dele
gates. Waiting for His Confirmation.
George Miller returned from Washington
yesterday morning. Speaking of his ap
pointment as Internal Revenue Collector
he said his Washington trip waB to take
charge of the office, but it was decided alter
consultation the best plan would be to wait
for the confirmation of the Senate before he
hies his bond. It is expected the Senate
will take it up immediately after it is
called to order.
After Major Dennlston Now.
Some opposition is cropping out against
City Treasurer Denniston as a candidate for
renomination. It is not claimed that he
has not been a good officer or that he would
not continue to be. Those who are talking
against him say he has had, four terms in
the office, that there are other old soldiers
who want the place, and that a complete
change in the city offices should be made.
Allegheny Council Candidates Bobbing Up.
Charles V. Lewis has announced himself

THE FIGHT STILL ON.
A Randall Club Peace Sleeting Which
Failed of Its Object
A meeting of what is known as the "syn
dicate" of the Randall Club . took place
last nightwith the intention of adjusting all
differences in connection with the club elec
tion to tase place. to-morrow night Instead
of accomplishing this the syndicate only
got deeper "into the fight which has been
raging in the organization for some time.
They indorsed W. W. McClelland for re
cording Secretary, C. Bott for Correspond
ing Secretary, H. T. Morris for Treasurer,
and Louis Cell a, H. Obernauer, A.
Mamnux and GcorgeP. Brown for trustees.
McClelland will oppose John E. Me
Crickart, Bott will be against J. J. Fletcher
and Morris is against Thomas Foley. The
four candidates for trustees are seleoted
from a list of 18 nominees. Each member
will have the right to vote for seven trustees
or he can cast seven votes for one if he
chooses. The syndicate, consisting of the
40 men whp own the clubhouse, will vote
for only four trustees, concentratingtheir
votes in such a way as to secure a majority
on the board.
There was considerable discussion as to
the right of Recording Secretary McCrick
art, who is a candidate for re-election, to
hold the election. He is. an anti-syndicate
man and claims the right F. J. "Wcixel,
PressJey Fleming, Henry Myer and A F.
Keating were appointed a committee to as
certain the legal status of Mr. McCnckart's
position. The committee is also to ascer
tain the law governing corporation elec
tions and its application to the present
difficulty.
REF0BMEES WANT KENNEDY.
They Indorse Him and Ask Councils to
Postpone Election of Chiefs.
The Allegheny Beform Association yes
terday made public a resolution adopted at
its meeting on Monday night indorsing
Mayor Kennerly for re-election and guaran
teeing him iisunwavering support if it shall
be thoroughly determined that he is eligible
to hold the office. Another resolution was
adopted requesting Councils to change the
time of electing the heads of the city de
partments from January to April next The
object of the latter resolution is to postpone
the selection of department chiefs until af
ter the reorganization of the Councils, so
that in the expenditure of the $2,250,000 of
bonds to be issued for street improvements
the chiefs will be responsible to the Coun
cils which elected them instead of a body
which will have passed out of office.
It is claimed by a prominent Allegheny
official that every member now in Councils
is a candidate tor re-election and will be
elected, notwithstanding the claims of the
Reform Association.

CONTINUING THE WORK.
Blore Signers at the Murphy-Keeley Tem
perance Meeting Good Speeches and
Singing In Attendance A Drunken
Woman Takes the Pledge. '
The Murphy meeting held at Lafayette
Hall last night was attended by about 400
people and although no actual count was
kept it was said that more than 100 had
signed the pledge before the meeting ad
jouVned at 10 o'clock. The audience was
composed as usual of all classes of people
and enough enthusiasm was created lrom
time to time to keep up a lively interest to
the end. The music was furnished by a
chorus led bv Mrs. Goettman and Prof.
Weeden and the selections being chosen be
cause of familiarity the entire audience
joined in.
The speakers were Dave Hall, who signed
the pledge on Monday night and meant to
keep it; Joseph Hope, Thomas Mulholland
and A. K. Bakewell, all "Keeleyites," as
they termed themselves. Each made a
short address on the faith they had in the
cure, and were liberally applauded for their
earnestness.
Francis Murphy spoke last, and at times
became just as enthusiastic and earnest as in
the old days ten years ago. He drew his
pictures just as plainly and painted them
up in the coloring he always knows how to
lay on, and when the whole was completed
ruined it intentionally bv working in the
element of drink. He said that some peo
ple think that Keeley has Murphy, and
some that Murphy has Keeley, but he
knew they were wedded. Henceforth the
two traveled together, for both had been
tried and were proven to be after the same
end to save souls.
One intoxicated woman attached her name
to the Murphy pledge.

THESTEANGE STORY OP A PEETTT WAIF
Searching and sorrowing mothers were
plentiful t the Anti-Cruelty Society's
offices yesterday. After a fruitless search
of 12 years, a bright ray of hope gleamed
into the life of one sad mother who thought
that she had found in Charley Baft, the 14-year-old
lad who was picked up by the
police on a Southside street Mo&day, her
long lost boy. Young Baft was taken care
of by the police and then turned over to the
Anti-Cruelty Society. Secretary N. E.
Dorente succeeded in obtaining a home for
the boy.
The Secretary was deeply touched by the
story the boy told. He claimed to have
worked during summer and up to a short
time ago for a Frederick Jay, a farmer in
Murraysville. He said that he had never
secured a cent for bis services until he was
told a few days ago that he was no longer
wanted, when he was given a dollar. He
was thus turned out in tho world without
money, clothes, friends or parents.
Shortly after Baft departed for his new
home yesterday afternoon a woman came to
the office of the society and requested to be
permitted to see the boy, as she thought it
was her son.
A Woman's Sorrowful Story.
She said that she was now married and in
very good circumstances, bnt about 12
years ago her first husband died, leaving
her with an infant boy without any means
of living. It was impossible for her to go
out to work with an infant in her charge,
so she put the little boy into the Home for
Friendless, and managed by dint of bard
labor to earn enough to keep herself and
pay board for her infant son. Hard work,
in a little over a year, put her on a sick
bed. For six weeks she lay near death. As
soon as she recovered she hastened to tne
home, to find that during her illness the
light of ber life bad been taken
out of the home and adopted. They refused
to give her any information, and from
that time on she has heard nothing of her
son, with the exception of being sent a
photograph of him when ho was 9 years
old. When she read of yonng Baft she was
sure that it was her son, and Secretary
Dorente, after listening to her story, told
her to come around to-day and she would be
permitted to see the boy.
The woman had hardly left the office be
fore another searching mother came in and
said she was positive young Baft was her
boy. She said her name was Mrs. William
Allen and the boy who said his name was
Baft was her son Charley. During May
Charley Allen was picked np by the Alle
gheny police. He claimed to have been
abused by his father. He was given to the
care of the Anti-Cruelty Society, who
placed him in the Newsboys' Home. His
father on reading of bis son's escapade
hastened to the Newsboys' Home, bnt the
boy bad meanwhile escaped, and that was
the last heard of him.
Mr. Allen is a well-to-do farmer of Glen
field, and his wife, upon reading of Baft,
took the first train to the city but arrived
too late to see him. Secretary Dorente is
positive that the boy is Charley Allen, as
he now recalls the likeness to the boy he
had last May. Mrs. Allen wanted to take
Charley home with her last night, and wept
very bitterly when told that would be im
possible. A Wife's Long Chase.
A pitiful tale of a deserted wife was told
to Secretary Dorente yesterday by Minnie
Johnson, who after being left with a young
child to support in Missonri, followed her
faithless husband to Pittsburg, only to be
thrown again on the world. She said: "My
husband, James F. Johnson, moved from
Pittsburg with his father some ten years
ago to California. Shortly afterward they
took up their home in Dent county, Mis
souri, where I met and married my hus
band. The father died shortly after our
marriage, leaving a considerable estate, of
which my husband was made administrator.
We were very well fixed as long as this
money lasted and lived very comfortably.
It was about this time I happened
to come into possession of this little
girl I have with me. A parly
of hunters passing through a forest near
our home came across a little babe hid
among the bushes in one of the most deso
late portions of the woods. The hunters
took the little foundling, and wrapping it
in their coats, conveyed it to the cottage of
a woman near the edge of the wood. I
heard of the incident and realizing that the
woman who had received the child was in
no position to care for it properly, being
poor and having seven children of her own,
I took the child myself. At that time we
were in a position able to care for the little
oue; .now I have to come to you for aid.
Her Husband Left Without Warning.
"My husband had studied for the minis
try, but I know he has not been in a church
since we were married. In the middle of
August he left me in Missouri without a
word of warning or any clue as to where
he was going. I grieved for several weeks,
and finally, after selling everything I had
lelt in the world, started for Pittburg,
where I had been informed by a letter he
had gone. The journey here was very tire
some and meeting with a considerable wreck
I was completely broken up, having been
ill for some time before I started. I arrived
in Pittsburg at 10 o'clock at night with my
little one. No one met me, and I can tell
you the feeling of being alone in a strange
city is not pleasant. I managed to get to
my brother-in-law's house by frequent in
quiries, where I found my bnsband, who
gave as an excuse for not meeting me in
response to my telegram, that the wreck
had delayed the'train so that he didn't wait.
"I had when I arrived in Pittsburg as
the proceeds of the sale of the goods a dratt
lor $200 and about 160 in cash. With this
we were able to provide for ourselves.
From the very night I arrived he began
fussing and fighting with me. Ou Sunday
after I arrived, when they were all at
church, he pulled a revolver on me. His
brother, when I told him of this, informed
him that he would have no such actions in
his house, and he'd have to get out and find
work.
Left Without a Cent.
"Seeing matters going from bad to worse,
and our money gradually getting less and
less, I resolved to arrange matters so that I
could work tor myself. I took the little
boy and proceeded to the Home for Friend
less and afterward to the Bidge Avenue
Orphan Asylum. At both places tbey re
fused to take the child. While I was on
this mission my husband broke into my
trunk, and took all the money I had lett
out ot the $260 I brought with me. I never
saw any more ot the money until he gave
me some to buy him uiderwear. I bought
the things he wanted and also some lood.
When I got home he beat me horribly, and
then lelt me without a cent in the world.
My husband's brother has been exceedingly
kind to me, appreciating my position, bnt
ire is not situated so that he can aid me,
having a large family of his own."
Secretary Dorente after hearing the story
suggested to Mrs. Johnson to allow the so
ciety to provide a home for the little one so
that she could work out. After a great
struggle she consented to this. Tne society
is desirous to have some responsible person
adopt the little one. The child is about 3
years old and a little beauty, ber round red
cheeks indicating that she at least had good
care taken of her.
